Four people have now died after a crash between a car and a campervan on State Highway 1 south of Blenheim last month. Emergency services were called to the crash about 10.40am on Sunday, February 22. Two people died at the scene, near Redwood Pass, and another died in hospital soon after. The fourth person died on Friday, despite the best efforts of medical professionals, police said. Docx's death notice described her as a “warm-hearted, wise, strong woman with an open view of the world”.
